An exposure apparatus includes a mirror for reflecting radiation light from a light source, a driving mechanism for holding and oscillating the mirror, a detector for detecting the position of a beam of the radiation light projected on the mirror, an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the position of the mirror with respect to the radiation light on the basis of an output of the detector, and a reference table for positioning the driving mechanism and the detector with respect to the same reference.
摘要:
An exposure apparatus for exposing a photosensitive substrate to a pattern on a mask within an exposure view angle to transfer the pattern onto the photosensitive substrate using X-ray as exposure radiation, wherein exposure light on the mask is limited by a light blocking plate for blocking the exposure radiation, thus accomplishing efficient manufacturing of the semiconductor devices.
摘要:
A mirror unit includes a mirror having a reflecting surface, a holding member for supporting the mirror and an airtight chamber incorporating the mirror, supported by the holding member, in an airtight state. Either the mirror or the holding member constitutes a portion of a side wall of the airtight chamber. The mirror unit can be suitably used in an exposure apparatus which uses a synchrotron radiation light source or the like as a light source.
摘要:
An imprinting machine that brings a mold having a pattern into contact with an object and transfers the pattern onto the object includes a measurement unit that measures a position of the mold when the mold contacts the object.
摘要:
A processing apparatus configured to transfer a pattern of a mold onto a target member by pressing the mold against a resin applied to the target member includes a driver configured to move the mold and the target member relative to each other, and a controller configured to control the driver so that a changing rate of a load generated between the mold and the resin in a first state is smaller than that in a second state, and the first state being a state in which the mold that adheres to the resin starts moving in a direction separating from the resin, and the second state being a state in which the mold that moves in the direction separating from the resin is about to separate from the resin.
摘要:
A method of exhausting a gas in a chamber of a load-lock system having a first valve defining an opening for supplying a gas and a second valve defining an opening for conveyance of an article. The method includes a gas supplying step for supplying a gas heated by a heater into the chamber through the first valve, while the first valve and the second valve are kept open, a conveying step for conveying the article into the chamber while the second valve is kept open, and an exhausting step to be carried out after the gas supplying step and the conveying step are executed and the first and second valves are closed, to exhaust the gas inside the chamber while the first valve and the second valve are kept closed.
摘要:
An exposure apparatus for exposing a substrate to a pattern due to an original includes a substrate stage which holds and moves the substrate, and a first measurement unit which is arranged on the substrate stage, and measures a position of a mark formed on the original by projecting and receiving light.
摘要:
A processing method for forming a first pattern on a substrate to which a resist is applied includes the steps of pressing an original having a second pattern that has a relief reverse to that of the first pattern, against the resist on the substrate, and irradiating light onto the resist via the original, wherein a size of a concave of the second pattern is greater than a size of a convex of the first pattern corresponding to the concave of the second pattern, and a size of a convex of the second pattern is smaller than a size of a concave of the first pattern corresponding to the convex of the second pattern.
摘要:
A pattern forming apparatus maintaining alignment between a mold and a substrate. The pattern forming apparatus includes a press pressing the mold against the substrate in a pressing direction, and a mechanism to maintain orientation of the mold and the substrate perpendicular to the pressing direction.
摘要:
An X-ray exposure apparatus for transferring a mask pattern onto a substrate. The apparatus includes an X-ray source for generating X-ray light, an optical system which includes a collimator lens for generating parallel X-ray light for transferring a mask pattern to a substrate, from the X-ray source, a detection unit which detects a position of the X-ray source relative to a mask, and a correction unit which corrects a position and an attitude of the optical system on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detection unit.
